Kevin Norwood Bacon (born July 8, 1958) is an American actor.
“I hike, I lift weights, I do calisthenics. Sometimes I work with a trainer. I don’t work out for long periods of time because I’m just too bored by it. High-intensity, short periods of time are much more beneficial for me,” Bacon told WebMD.
“I would say that overall, my choices in terms of exercise, lifestyle, and food — they’re all about longevity.”
From a 2015 interview with WebMD.com:
Q. What do you do to relax when you’re shooting?
A. I meditate. And I’m addicted to a nap a day, especially if I’m on a set. It’s 10 minutes, maybe 15. I have a whole protocol for it. I put on eyeshades. I lie on my back. I elevate my feet. I cross my hands over my chest like a sarcophagus. And [after that] I am good for the next — whatever it’s going to be — 10 hours.
Q. What’s your exercise routine?
A. I hike, I lift weights, I do calisthenics. Sometimes I work with a trainer. I don’t work out for long periods of time because I’m just too bored by it. High-intensity, short periods of time are much more beneficial for me.
Q. What’s your typical diet like?
A. I balance what I would consider really healthy eating with crap sometimes. Once in a while, I’ve just got to have a hamburger.
Q. Do you have a favorite junk food splurge?
A. If I get off the train at West Fourth Street [in New York], there’s a little pizza joint with the best New York slice, and I just can’t get off there and not have that slice.
Q. You’ve been acting for more than 35 years. Any plans to retire?
A. I guess there are a lot of people at this age who feel like they want to be on a beach, drinking beer with a fishing line. There’s no part of me that pines for that.
Q. What is your personal health philosophy?
A. I would say that overall, my choices in terms of exercise, lifestyle, and food — they’re all about longevity.
Kevin Bacon shared his “mango morning routine” on Twitter:
Forgive the whispering, someone (and I’ll name names here @kyrasedgwick) was still asleep. I often like to have a little #MorningMango. What’s your favorite fruit trick? Hope you enjoy the accidental #ASMR. pic.twitter.com/ZYHOmvl9aV
